Now You See Me was one of 2013’s original films that turned out to be a success, and naturally, the studio would want a sequel. The movie in which Jesse Eisenberg, Woody Harrelson, Dave Franco and Isla Fisher play a group of magicians who uncover the secrets to pulling off “real magic” shows…

Now You See Me 2 (not the official title) will begin filming in the US, Europe and Asia starting in September 2014. Deadline.com reports that most of the original cast – including Mark Ruffalo, Morgan Freeman and Mélanie Laurent – will be returning, as well as including some “exciting new additions” as well.

From ScreenRant.com:

Lionsgate CEO Jon Feltheimer added that the studio sees Now You See Me as a potential franchise, along with upcoming titles like Gods of Egypt, Mordecai and Chaos Walking. It was announced in August last year that Leterrier will be returning to direct the sequel, but there’s no news yet as to who’ll be penning the script.

Now You See Me had a pretty ambiguous ending that left plenty of room to expand upon the mythology that the movie had already built up, and there’s always room in the world for a few more magic tricks.

Here, watch the mid-credits scene that sets up the sequel (sort of):
